Great article. But I still hold that I am skeptical to see what actual results will be seen in MPG with these.
From what I understood, these airtabs should speed up the airflow and smooth it to lower the CD. So would these work on any part of the vehicle that doesn't flow as well as it could such as the wheels, or even on the back of a hatchback civic? I would assume it would given the principle of how they work, but I would guess there would also need to be flow testing done to prove there effectiveness (and to make sure they don't do more harm than good) to be sure of it.

The 1st PDF shows research on how high to make them, angle to use, and where to put them. This testing was done at highway speeds.
